Sigmund Freud on Psychotherapy ''Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing,  and even today retain much of their    magical power. By words one of us can give another the  greatest happiness or bring about utter despair;  by words the teacher imparts his/her knowledge to his/her students;  by words the orator sweeps his  audience with him  and determines its judgements and decisions. Words call forth emotions  and are universally the means by which  we influence our fellow creature. Therefore let us not despise the use of words in psychotherapy.'' (Sigmund Freud, 1939, )
